As for the prices of the products, do I need to price or are the prices that already come from the export ready for sale?
Topic summary
Central issue: A merchant asks if imported product prices (from an export) are ready to sell or need to be set manually.
Key guidance: A representative from a third‑party app (Zopi) clarifies that supplier prices (e.g., from AliExpress) are only suggestions. Merchants should set their own prices to secure margins, typically using a markup of 2.5–3x the product cost. Pricing should also account for perceived value and additional costs like marketing and shipping. A help article with pricing rules was provided.
Other notes: One participant praises apps that instantly scan menus to show prices, highlighting convenience but not addressing pricing strategy directly.
Outcome/status: Practical guidance was given (apply markup and set pricing rules). No explicit confirmation from the original poster, so the thread appears open without a final resolution.
I admire how some apps allow you to scan menus and see prices instantly. It’s a great time-saver!
Hi @rubenmikkelborg ,
If you use a third-party app like Zopi, when importing products, the prices from suppliers like AliExpress are just suggestions. It is important to adjust pricing to ensure good profit margins. It is recommended to apply a markup of 2.5 to 3 times the cost of the product. Also consider the customer’s perceived value and additional costs, such as marketing and shipping, to set a competitive and profitable price.
